Best Answer

A:

Animism did not spread so much as arise spontaneously in different places. Religion has always been a way to explain that which we do not understand, and a way to help control the elements of nature.

Every region had its own sacred stories and its own spirits. The elements common to animism in different regions are those elements that could reasonably have arisen in parallel. Perhaps different regions influenced each other, but any interaction between, for example, Eurasian and American animists must have occurred before the migration across the Bering Strait.

Is animism ethnic or universalizing?

A:Followers of animism believe that spirits inhabit familiar objects in the environment. That very belief localises animism. So although forms of animism have existed in almost every inhabited part of the world, it is still an ethnic religion, not a universalising one. The ancient Romans were both animistic and polytheistic. Although belief in their gods spread throughout the empire, their animism never did.
